Hi,

I recently ( and unfortunately ) upgraded my ESXi server to 7.0.3 ... which was then pulled. Having upgraded I have been experiencing random crashes of the ESXi server. This looks to have caused a corruption in one of my VMFS-6 datastores. A voma check lists a number of lock issues but ultimately I think the 4 JBC inconsistency errors shown are the reason for the filesystem not mounting

Running VMFS Checker version 2.1 in check mode

Does anyone know how to fix these errors. The "fix" option of voma does nothing. To say I am pissed at VMWare for this 7.0.3 release is an understatement.
